[QUOTE="nankoweap, post: 1180509, member: 29585"] The BBG leaves little room for error so you're going to need to be on your game. Some things to consider... [LIST][*]Find a quick route. [*]Plan your stops. You know your bike's and your bladder's range. Have an idea where you will stop. [*]Keep your stops as short as possible so you can keep those wheels spinning. Are they "splash and dash" or "fill and chill"? If you're not in the bathroom, pumping gas or somewhere in between, you're probably wasting valuable time. [*]No need to stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Pack your food and water in your tank bag and saddle bags. [*]If you're not completely comfortable on your bike, a BBG will exacerbate any problem areas you already know about. Take care of them. [*]Ensure your bike is mechanically sound. [*]Rid your mind of any worries or concerns - home, work, bike or otherwise. Your full attention is required. [*]It's Ok to brush up against your limits, but don't go beyond them and put yourself and others at risk. [*]Listen to your body and mind. Stop when you need to for as long as you need to and don't be afraid to stop for good. Getting home safely should always be the ultimate goal. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
